If I've missed it, please excuse me, but why not purchase the right to download whatever music, etc. you're downloading indefinitely. The vendor providing it to you should have a record that it's been done, he's been paid, and if either you've lost it, or want to load it on to another device you own, I think that should be your option. If this were done, you could keep what you're currently listening to frequently available on the hard drive, but if you wanted something you paid for, even years ago, you could simply download it again, no charge, you paid for the service when you made the initial purchase. This may be an over simplification, some sort of protection may be required for the provider to assure the user is not violating his rights, but I believe this is doable. At minimum, a small charge should apply for downloading something that's been previously paid for. If the cost of downloading multiple times is low, the user can make a choice of tying up some form of storage or letting the provider of the music store it for them. Gary
